I agree, it seems more harmful than helpful.

I understand and I don't have any experience so any info you provide is well appreciated. I'm glad that you are doing better. I only want what is best for the family and I'm clueless. Thanks again.

Thank you for great advice. She takes Risperdal, anti psychotic and prn klonipin at hs. She has had an EGG which shows spikes as she sleeps. I didn't mean to sound insensitive but my gut tells me what she is displaying is behavioral, the mother says her PRO says it is behavioral. It's very confusing and the agency doesn't offer much insight or training and I'm a new grad.

I was asked why home health? Would I be okay with a baby on a vent? What was my experience? Basic questions....I have my ASN. You need everything, license, diploma, CPR, physical and 2 part ppd. They will do the latter 2 if you don't have recent ones done. They need titers, basically everything you needed for achool. Did you have your interview yet?

As a home health nurse my case is a 5 year old that has "seizures", when she stiffens her hands, opens her mouth wide and says...no really...says "seizure!" And the mom coaches me to make sure I document it bc if I don't her case will be closed. The mother exaggerates all of her symptoms and has fired 10+ nurses. An MR I revealed no seizures or reason to suspect seizures and the mother threatens to take the child for blood work if she doesn't behave. Well when Mom is around the child is a maniac, cries, runs and bites herself. She won't eat or drink and when mom leaves the child is complete opposite. After I calm her down she behaves, eats, is a normal child. On top of it the mother treats me like the nanny...I am to run after the child put her in and out of the car seat take her to the bathroom. Please...This is not what I went to nursing school for, to be treated like the help. I'm actively seeking other employment but for now I am working the case bc I have to feed my family. I think mom has munchausen by proxy...please, can anyone offer any advice. Should I report her bc other nurses have and nothing has been done. I'm afraid of losing my cool, my mind and my license

I interviewed there about 2 weeks ago, was told I was going to get an opportunity. Over the following 2 weeks I went in about 3 separate times to do paperwork and tests, had to inquire about salary and orientation bc the receptionist said she "would fill me in once all my paperwork was in." Another recruiter told me pay is $28/hr, half that during orientation. So...got all my paperwork and testing done, was supposed to rcv a call last week about "classes" and have still heard nothing. I've basically moved on. Please post about your experience bc I'm curious if they are legit. Good luck!
